Crisix - Rise ...Then Rest 9,5/10

What can I say about Crisix than that I love this band. I think one of the best things is that you can't compare it with regular new Thrash bands.

As I said before I really enjoyed their first full lenght The Menace. Unfortunately it doesn't exist on vinyl. Only CD!

Now two years later, the second long player is released and he doesn't hide from his successor. Especially the songs I.Y.F.F, Rise ...Then Rest, Bring 'Em To The Pit, Volcano Face and Waldi Gang have done it to me. They couldn't reach for a better end than with Waldi Gang. Absolutly genious! And the best of all for me, they bring it out on a vinyl press. Isn't that cool for a vinyl freak like me?! ;) Their awesome songwriting mark up this band the most in my opinion. It won't be lazy at no time and you get definitely a smile on your face on every single song. At least I get one. :)

Get your own thoughts about it and check the tracks below. 

To me definitely one of the highlights in 2013. And I hope to see these guys live soon here around because they should act like gone wild animals. Maybe together with their now more pupular countrymen Angelus Apatrida?! That would be killer!!

So for me Rise ...Then Rest deserve a killer 9,5/10!! -0,5 because I think this record is not for permanent listenings. Its so special and more for Thrash gourmets. Like a very good scotch you know?! The more you taste the more you don't be surprised how good it tastes actually ;)

Check out Crisix if you haven't already and get a copy of this great record!!

Evile - Skull 9,5/10

So where should I start when it comes to a new Evile record?? I'm a hardcore fan of this band since 2007. I saw them a couple of times live and met all of 'em to one of the nicest dudes you could hang around with. I've collected everything from Enter The Grave I could find. Promo stuff, Test Pressings, Missprints and of course all the regular stuff. In my opinion Enter The Grave is still the best new Thrash record around!

So it's really not surprising that I was a bit disappointed about IN and FST. But I must say that the sound of FST blew me away. I was really excited when I heard that they will put out a new record this summer. What should I expect from the new release after IN and FST? Same producer, same studio, I think similar procedures. Honestly I really didn't expect very much if you look at killer releases by bands such as Lost Society, Dust Bolt, Eradikator, Lich King, Angelus Apatrida, Havok... (the list goes on)

But someone should teach me better again...

When I first heard Underworld from Skull I knew this album will be killer and I surely wanted to grab the ulta limited red vinyl version. The best thing I think on this record is Matt's singing. I always thought that he act to monoton but on Skull, man it's just killer! I really love the work and I think it pushs the album to another level. The sound is also amaizing and I think everybody increase if I say we don't have to talk about the individual quality of the members.
But I also have to repeat that in my opinion, it is definitely time for e new producer. I don't like these echo effects which came into the picture by producing the records with Russ. I like the raw power in Matts voice like in the beginning of "Eternal Empire" from FST. Or check out the new song "Outsider". I mean the screams, that's what I am talking about!  
So in fact of that and in fact that I really can not do very much with the cover artwork (I am sorry but I love more catchy stuff like Ed Repka, Bouzikov) Skull gets an awesome 9,5/10 from me also because of Matt's great work.
Check out the tunes below and the bands facebook page, get yourself a copy of this fenomenal album and mosh to the masters!

Dear Blog! I'm still alive and well...

...so if maybe some of you has noticed, it was quiet the last couple weeks here. The reason is not because I'm no any longer a Thrash Metal Maniac but I spent a bit of money for Scotch & Bourbon, so there was nothing left for any New Thrash Records. :))

But as you can see I got my new Evile & Cisix vinyl and it still goes on. So keep up the horns and enjoy the great weather outside (at least the german fux!! ;))

Gama Bomb - Citizen Brain

I think Citizen Brain from Irish Thrashers Gama Bomb is one of the best new Thrash records and definitely an inspiration for many new Thrash bands nowadays. Listen to classics like "Evil Voices", "Global Warning", " Hammer Slammer", "Hell Trucker" or "Return of the Technodrome" and you'll see what I mean.
I bought this album on CD after it was released back in 2008. Today I got my 12" vinyl copy and I only now realize the AWESOMENESS of the cover artwork. Long live 12"!! :)

By the way, I'm selling my Citizen Brain CD with some other great new Thrash records. Check the link below to see what I'm offering right now

Lost Society - Fast Loud Death 4,9/5

Through several media the band Lost Society was on everyone's lips the last past weeks. Seems like Nuclear Blast has obviously done a great job. :) And not only there. Thanks again for letting me freak out one day before its official release here in germany. ;)

Lost Society is a new Thrash Metal combo from Finland. They was formed in 2010 by Samy Elbanna at the age of just 14. Their first 3-song Demo was made in August of 2011. With this in the back they apply at the worldwide talent compition "Global Battle of the Bands". Although the missing of the registration deadline cannot stop these maniax and they won the local battle. So tireless live playing pays off precisley. 

And now the time has come for worlds infecting by releasing their Debut Loud Fast Death in 2013.

So my thoughts about this record, oh man that's really hard. Where should I start. I start with the cover. The artwork comes from the MAN in cover artwork himself Mr. Ed Repka and it looks totally awesome in 12". But why 12" when you can have it in A2?! Yeah, you get this great art in a poster format with the vinyl. Have I say before that I love vinyls? ;) In my opinion the cover reflects perfectly what you can expect from the inside. The finest Thrash Metal you could find nowaday. Best Art for best bands! As simply as that.

The vinyl version comes as a 12" Gatefold Edition includes 13 tracks and 2 Bonus tracks so you get a lot of metal for your money. And not only metal, as I said before you get one of the best new Thrash Metal songs I heard for a long time. I mean songs like "Piss out my ass" or "Bitch, out' my way" doesn't need more further declarations right?! :)) The vinyl I got is a strictly limited color/ clear vinyl and was only pressed to 150 copies worldwide.I think they are all sold out already but if you're a vinyl fan like myself is one, you can order the normal black vinyl directely through the Nuclear Blast Shop here. So go and get your copy soon and freak out like I did to this new masterpiece! :)))

So I have to go now, drinking beer and party FAST LOUD DEATH!!!!

Revocation - Chaos of Forms 9,5/10

Revocation is a Death/Thrash performance from Boston Massachusetts. The band was formed in 2000 by guitarist/singer David, bassist Anthony, drummer Phil and went by the name Cryptic Warning. In 2006 they changed the name into Revocation.

Cryptic Warning was mainly influenced by bands like Guns N Roses and Metallica. Now Revocation plays more extreme metal, reminds me on Exodus, Shadows Fall. Playful like Annihilatior, Opeth or Threat Signal and that's what made the band more interesting than other bands in this genre for me. These guys really kicks ass and I don't know why I realised this band so late. Everyone knows exactely how to use his instrument. Dudes check the tracks below and you will see what I mean. Inhale this big fat motherfukin' sound!! The future is wide wide open for this band and they overrun you and breaking all your goddamn bones. Take a look on their facebook page, give 'em a like and thrash to this beast of a record!!

Chaos of Forms gets a 9,5/10 instead of his innovation.

Mortillery - Murder Death Kill

So I've also ordered Mortillery's first record "Murder Death Kill" and it is fuckin' killer as hell. The special thing about this LP for me is that you got 3 tracks of their first EP from 2010 as exclusively bonus tracks. That's super cool!!

The album first came out in 2011 on a cd version and was pressed on different vinyl colors in 2012 via Napalm Records. The cover looks pretty sweet in 12"! ;)

So go head over to Napalm Records and get your own copy of this classic new thrash metal record!

Mortillery - Origin of Extinction

I got Mortillery's new record few days ago called Origin of Extinction. It's their second album and it is also fully packed with new aggressive Thrash Metal. Still can't believe that this is a female on vox. Really killer!!! Mortillery come from Edmonton CANADA and was born in 2008.

I purchased the strictly limited Toxic Green Vinyl. The cool thing about the vinyl presses is that they come as a double gatefold edition with an exclusive vinyl track so you got 14 tracks on this record besides killer covers from Razor, Angel Witch and Anthrax. Is that killer or what??!!!!! First orders will receive also a free A2 Poster.

So check the preview below, give this band a like on their facebook page and order this damn record!!! :)
